COMPARING THE TWO TYPES OF HAIR: NATURAL and WHITE

Natural hair is physically different from white hair, therefore it needs to be handled differently.

Natural hair already has its own color which, unlike what occurs with white hair, creates a
hindrance to the applied cosmetic color. We can therefore say that natural hair, when it is
subjected to a coloring treatment, is not colored in accordance with the applied tone; instead,

the existing tone of the hair, if not neutralized, alters the result. To solve this problem, it is
therefore necessary to prepare, through appropriate measures, the ideal conditions for the
hair to obtain the desired color.

It is necessary to change the natural color to replace it with the cosmetic one; it is essential to
make it slightly lighter than the target color, so that it may not hinder the result. If there is a
large presence of white hair, its color must be changed and made as similar as possible to that
which will be performed on the white hair.

THE STRUCTURE OF COLORS

Nouvelle’s color shades (NUANCES), thanks to the highest purity of the dyes used, provide
perfect coverage of white hair, fidelity of tone, ensuring a longer lasting color. The different
concentrations of various cosmetic ingredients, within a coloration, determine:

 Levels

 Reflects

THE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM AND THE

COLOR CHART

Perfectly describing colors with words is very difficult, because each of us imagines each color
in a different way.

In order to best define the various shades of cosmetic colors it is important to have a logical

and simple "system,” which can allow the perfect description of both level and reflect. The
system adopted to correctly indicate each color is extremely simple, because it assigns to each
element that forms it an identification code that allows the elimination of any possibility of
misunderstanding.

The system considers, first of all, that each color can be broken down into:

•tone level •dominant reflect •possible secondary reflect.
